This is all I got (aren't these backtraces usually a lot longer...?):

Signaling: (void-variable user-full-name)
  gnus-configure-posting-styles()
  run-hooks((lambda nil (iso-accents-mode t) (auto-fill-mode 1)) gnus-configure-posting-styles)
  message-mode()
  message-pop-to-buffer("*mail*")
  message-mail()
  gnus-group-mail(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-group-mail)

Hm... the problem is indeed in posting styles, as Shenghuo ZHU found
out further up.
